[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 8226903, member: 55491"] Night Below is a late 2e adventure and is a boxed set with 3 books. The main thread the characters are meant to investigate is the strange kidnappings and disappearances of spellcasters in the region. The first book is for low level adventurers and is set on the surface as the characters cast about for clues. There are a number of side adventures unrelated to the main plot. The first book ends with a need to defeat those that appear to have been responsible for the kidnappings. The second book starts after the characters have peeled off the first layer of the onion and made some important progress about the main thread and have a good lead to follow takes them into the Underdark. It’s more linear than the first but again has a number of side quests. The characters are again lead to an excellent end of tier boss but by the time they battle it/them they probably know this is just another layer of the onion. The third book is a pretty open area with the main issue to resolve but again plenty of side quests. Also, the main villains are pursuing a James Bondesque evil plan, which is fun. Being 2e the levelling up was usually slower than 5e so some of the side quests in all books are quite obviously there to give out xp and loot so the PC’s can deal with a 1st to ?14th level adventure. However most of the side quests have good story elements that enrich the world into which the characters are delving. It suffers a bit in 2e in that it’s likely that by the time you get to book 3 the characters may have half forgotten why they came this way in the first place. In 5e with faster levelling or milestone it could be easily adapted to remove a few of the filler adventures. I converted it and ran it 20 years ago as my first experiment with 3e, I ran it as a 1st - 20th level adventure that took just under 6years to complete, but I was coming at it with a 1e/2e mindset about levelling.
